[Verse 1]
G#m C#m
Was that somebody's scream, It wasn't me for sure
G Em
I lift my head up from uneasy pillows, Put my feet on the floor
Bm Em
I Cut my wrist on a bad thought and head for the door
[Verse 2]
G#m C#m
Outside on the pavement, The dark makes no noise
G Em
I can feel the sweat on my lips leaking into my mouth
Bm Em G#m
I'm heading out for the steep hills, They're leaving me no choice
[Chorus]
C#m E B F#m A E B F#m
And see...as our lives are in the making
C#m E B F#m A E B
We believe through the lies and the hating
F#m C#m E F#m
That love goes free
[Verse 3]
G#m C#m
For want of an option I run the wind 'round
G Em
I dream pictures of houses burning never knowing nothing else to do
D A Em
With death comes the morning unannounced and new
[Verse 4]
G#m C#m
Was it too much to ask for to pull a little weight
G Em
They forgive everything but greatness, These are scoundrel days
Bm Em G#m
And I'm close to calling out their names as pride hits my face
[Chorus]
C#m E B F#m A E B F#m
And see...as our lives are in the making
C#m E B F#m A E B
We believe through the lies and the hating
F#m Em D C#m C Em D C#m C
That love goes free through scoundrel days
[Instrumental]
Em D C#m C (2x)
[Verse 5]
G#m C#m
I reach the edge of town, I've got blood in my hair
G Em
Their hands touch my body from everywhere
Bm Em G#m
But I know that I've made it as I run into the air
[Chorus]
C#m E B F#m A E B F#m
And see...as our lives are in the making
C#m E B F#m A E B
We believe through the lies and the hating
F#m C#m E B F#m A E B F#m E
That love goes free Through scoundrel days
